Almost every avenue of an investment tells you RE is not pragmatic unless you have deep expertise. 99% of people on this board cannot do your 7 year plan, let alone your 3 or 1 year plan.

If you're currently driving 4 dollars, do you use or recommend using Deal Machine-or some other system?

The thing that makes you really stand out from so many others is that you have a track record...you can drive the investor by what you've built, tell them what you learned, what you stubbed your toes on, what you'll do different next time, etc.
